Johann Argentier

De morbis

Johann Argentier ( Giovanni Argenterio , Argenterius ) (* 1513 in Castelnuovo Don Bosco , Piedmont region ; † May 13, 1572 ) was an Italian medic.

Life

While studying in Turin , the poverty of his parents presented him with many obstacles.

From 1538/39 he was a doctor in Lyon , where his brother Bartholomäus also worked as a doctor, and from 1544 briefly in Antwerp . Sick people were reluctant to be treated by him, because they feared the bad outcome of his cures.

Then he was professor in Pisa, Naples, Rome, Mondovì in Piedmont (where there was a university from 1560–1566) and most recently in Turin. Reinerus Solenander , Wilhelm Rondelet and Lorenz Joubert were among his students .

He denied the many spirits that for the Pharmaceutical were indispensable School and founded a school, which contributed much to the overthrow of the Galen system. He described Leonhart Fuchs as a Tuebingian grammarian .

His son Hercules published the writings he left behind and which were still unprinted.
